NRL 2003

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2003 NRL was the sixth season of the National Rugby League , the Australian-New Zealand rugby league championship . In the sixth season, the Northern Eagles broke up, so that the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and the North Sydney Bears , which have not been participating since then, were again separate clubs. The first place in the table after the end of the regular season occupied the Penrith Panthers , who won the final 18: 6 against the Sydney Roosters and thus won the NRL for the first time.
